Question: Mythic/Legendary Minerals

Another question: I’ve been thinking about flora and fauna from myth and legend for an urban fantasy worldbuild. In the process, I’ve thought about mythic/legendary minerals too. Unfortunately, my research has stalled after orichalcum. Any suggestions?

That’s been my problem. Finding fictional metals/minerals has been easy, but I’ve been looking for more from myths and legends. So far, things like “sky iron” (meteoric iron) and electrum (known alloy) have been coming up, but aren’t what I’m looking for, since we know what they are and they really exist. Orichalcum, on the other hand, appears to be merely legend, which is what I’m looking for.
